Rant VI: Now Drama Free

Limit: 500

Feb 5, 2010#1

Dave

So today on my way to work in my 2007 Chevy Deathmobile I got stuck on a major street...because we had 1/2 an inch of snow and it was a hill. The traffic behind me was amazing.

So I went to see what I could do about getting new tires. $470 and a new brake job later and I'm loving life in the snow.

Of course, when I have to pay $900 more on the transmission on the other car I start to cry a little....

FUCKING CAR!!!

How is that a rant?

Also, was that 1/2 an inch, 1/2 a foot, 1/2 a yard, 1/2 a pound or 1/2 a cake of snow?

There. Now it's a rant with 1/2 inch of snow.

Today I was going to eat one of those soups that come in the Styrofoam containers and when i was pouring the boiling water into the container I slipped and spilled it all over my hand and the counter where my phone was sitting. Much cursing was had by all.

On the plus side after two weeks I finally got my van started. Negative- the mud flap is bent and rubs against the wheel causing a really annoying noise when I drive. I hate that pos.

My father is in the hospital because of his back troubles and I just screamed at my aunt, who called, very offended that we didn't think of telling her about it while we were looking for a hospital to take him, to see if we could get him some strong painkillers so he stopped crawilng and shivering on the bed in pain and trying to get an ambulance that would take him to the hospital we finally decided. If someone apologizes, it will have to be me.

Shitfucks. The girlfriend just got the phone bill. Apparently hour-long conversations are not really nice to wallets.

I can afford it (barely) but it's making her feel guilty and I don't think she wants me to pay it even though they can't afford it.

Drink a butt ton of water. If you get that spinny feeling when you close your eyes, put you hand on something solid like the wall or the bedpost. It'll keep your mind straight and knowing that you're not spinning.

Do what my dad did to me when I was 18 and came home in the middle of the night blasted out of my mind and puked all over the carpet in the bootroom. Wake me up at 7 am the next day, force me to drink about 32 oz of sugar water to "HELP" with the hangover and make me do yardwork all morning. Now, surprisingly enough, the lightly sugared water worked like a God damn charm and the exercise didn't hurt anything either.

Got court tomorrow for a case that I had next to nothing to do with (just transported the dude) It's State Superior court, which means if it's slated to start at 1330, I might... MIGHT get out of there at 1600.... just in time to be late coming on shift.

If it was my bust, I wouldn't care, but c'MON Mr. D.A.

Also, no raise this year, house is still not finished, I keep finding things that need repair, and I haven't paid my car note in months, due to the more pressing concerns of keeping power/water/gas turned on.

Also, fsck court. That is all.

It's always something about the environment, too. Since being "green" has gotten so easy for people who can afford to pay 2-3$ more per household cleaning item for an environmentally friendly one, they've gotten a little holier-than-thou.

Just spent an hour and a half driving in crap to get my wife to a meeting. I then go to work which takes FOREVER to get to, and now I have to turn around and go get her and take her to her other job.

My entire day is going to be spent driving in crappy weather.

I think I'm skipping classes tonight. I don't need an extra 2 hours in my car.

So I ruptured my ear drum a little over a week ago, and have been on medication for it. It wouldn't be too bad, but I have 2 different pills to take, and ear drops, all of which I need to take 4 times a day. I can't STAND getting water in my ear, so forcing myself to put 4 drops of liquid into my ear 4 times a day for the last week and a half is really starting to grate on my nerves. :angry:

So, continuing my great past couple months, my mother-in-law messaged me at work to get my wife to call her right away regarding a family situation. Those kinds of calls never are good news.

Her cousin, who we have met and hung out with many times, was arrested for drunk driving.

After killing two people in a head-on collision.

Every morning I get in my truck and cuss silently to myself all the way to work about how I am stuck in this s*** paying job run by a spoiled little rich boy peckerwood who lives 4 hours away and seems to think that we should be thrilled whenever he comes down to see us every few days.

Then once work starts and I have something to take my mind off the sh***y pay the production manager, who is a d**k, bitches because we were two minutes late back from break, then gives us the worst orders ever created for a rotary die press. The machine is so poorly maintained that the print looks like s***. Everytime we tell the maintanance manager about something he says "Its supposed to do that".

The worst part is that I can fix all these problems. I have the experiance, I have the knowledge, and I want to do it. Being the "new" guy though, been there about 8 months, no one listens to me and even if they would listen the spoiled rich boy peckerwood won't spend any money.

I feel better now.

Really batting 1000 so far this year. Can't get ahold of my girlfriend, and she's not returning the 3-4 missed calls of mine over the past couple weeks. No idea what's going on, and she's supposed to be coming down this weekend for a Flogging Molly concert we were going to. I hope I'm just reading too much into this sudden silence.

Well fuck. I need to talk to my academic advisor ASAP. I thought I had taken history I at community college ( a few years ago), so this semester I signed up for history II. NOPE! I'm taking history II, transfering a different history II credit over and still need to take history I even though registration is closed.

I wonder if I can just try to test out of it? I mean, I could probably cram and make a C on some standardized history test. Is that the kind of thing they even offer a test for? Fuck.

And the worst part is that it's not like I got screwed over. If I had just paid any amount of attention when registering and shit I wouldn't be in this predicament.

I guess on the plus side I don't really have to worry about that test tomorrow.

CLEP tests are your friends. Ask your advisor or whatnot about them. I'm pretty sure they run often. I had to use one for some subject (I am blanking on which) my last semester of college, and I passed it without cracking a book.

The god damn light in my office just shocked me. Half my lights don't work, so I decided to try and change the bulb myself. They are those damn U shaped florescent bulbs that you have to push up into the socket. After I replaced the bulb that looked burned out it still didn't work, so I decided to try and push it a little harder in case it wasn't all the way seated. I pushed on the metal ring they have at the base, and that fucker shocked the hell out of me. No, I didn't turn the lights off first. It takes 10 freakin minutes for my lights to turn back on. I just want a normal amount of light in here.

Going through a really bad bout with depression. I have this stupid, short essay (only 1,000 words) due for my Virginia Woolf class but I'm finding I'm having the same problems with Woolf that I did with James Joyce (specifically Ulysses). I try reading it and can't understand a lot of it, even on just a surface level. How the hell am I supposed to do an essay on something I can't even read?

I've honestly given consideration to just dropping out, altogether. I've realized that as much as I love reading and literature, I hate scholarly literature like Joyce and Woolf. The kind of literature that is so dense and so brilliant that you can't just read it on a surface level.

I'm supposed to be going to Florida for a week coming this Saturday and I want to just cancel it. My parents are staying down there for the next few months and I'm in such a depressed mood that I just want to cancel my flight. But Mom said I can't.

Fuck, I don't even know what to do anymore.

The biggest part of going to college is not necessarily what you learn but to show that you can. Every day in my last few semesters I wanted to do nothing more than curl up and quit but then I thought about all the people who had supported me while I went to college. There were times when I kept going because of sheer stubbornness, but other times were because I didn't want to let them down.

You have a great support network both in your personal life and here. You need to vent? Vent! Get it all out! Then shake it off and go back to it.

Go to Florida. Have fun. Come back refreshed and kick some ass!

Planning cross-country moves is a pain in the ass, made moreso by those companies that want you to put your info in for a quote...then you have to call, and they take ten minutes to do the free "instant" quote. The entire time talking about how cheap they are compared to UHaul, how much better they are, how they take care of everything and don't charge a ton...

...then quoting me $4,000 for the space to move my electronic drum set (80 pounds), a dozen textbooks, some pots/pans/bakeware (my girlfriend doesn't want to get rid of these), a bunch of books, my 20" TV, a dining table, and my Xbox 360.

Oh, right, the other part of my rant: that was my original plan (the dining table's optional anyways; the girlfriend kind of wants to bring it, but no big deal), but an engine rod in my car went out and it'll cost more than the car's worth to fix it.

My rant about the moving guys was more along the lines of "fucking annoying" rather than "they're holding me hostage with such a high price". I'll probably just end up packing down my drums and shipping it, and figuring out what to do with the rest of it (I do NOT want to sell my drums here and rebuy a similar set; I got about $600 off on a new set, and wouldn't be able to match that again).

Heh, I got a railcar to send me 30 tons of material for that half that. Donate the books, TV, dining room set and if your girlfriend isn't watching the bakeware to charity. Get a receipt and apply it against your taxes. Buy new when you get there.

I was actually typing up a long, helpful comment, but it was locked anyway by that Espy thing.

My Rant!:

God fucking dammit!

Work canceled again. I worked one fucking day this week! You know, getting Monday off at random was fun. It had stopped snowing on Saturday, and I thought it was kind of silly, but I figured there was good reason for it. It didn't hurt things too much.

But then Wednesday goes, and so does my trip, and Thursday now, and so I'll probably be going in this weekend, not to mention Julie works for the federal government, so this is pretty much cutting her paycheck in half.

And the worst thing is, I can't really be pissed about them doing it, because as tame as it looks to me, I know this area is woefully unprepared for this. I know elsewhere the roads are icy and the wind is hazardous. I woke up half an hour ago and I've already heard multiple ambulances and firetrucks going to help people who did have to go out today. It just pisses me off that we were finally starting to get ahead financially and then this week drags it all down.

But you can't deny random drama is awesome.

Minor rant:

I wish people would stop overusing/misusing the following words:

- awesome
- random
- drama

I had a whole conversation the other day just on the softening of the word awesome. My friend pointed out, though, that if a word looses it's meaning somehow, a new word will replace it if the word is important enough to the language. So awesome has stopped meaning extremely inspiring or causing great apprehension and/or fear and started meaning good or cool. But awe-inspiring has rushed in to fill the gap.

Interestingly 'awful' used to have the same connotation as 'awesome', as in an event that would 'fill one with awe', but over time became associated with negative things that awful now means bad.

The real problem with 'awesome' being overused is that people don't understand that when I say I'm awesome, I don't mean I'm pretty good: I mean they should literally be quaking with holy fear in my presence. It's mildly annoying that they don't.

Oh sweet Jesus,

I just got into a theology debate with my one idiot friend this past week over that retarded creationist museum in Kentucky. Long story short: He's a Godboy and can pull facts out of his ass because that's what they do (think Kirk Cameron). I can't possibly refute everything he throws at me because I'm not a physicist, cosmologist, geologist, paleontologist, anthropologist, astrophysicist, or hell even a taxonomist. I'm a biochemist/microbiologist which to him is the old, macro vs. micro evolution argument base, which I want to slap him upside the head for.

I hate getting into these debates with people because in the end you're not going to win anyone over. I just wanted to explain to him the purpose of that museum is not to learn, but it's whole existence is a vindictive response to evolution, not creationism, being taught in public school science classrooms. It's a step backward because it's a place promoting fallacy disguised as fact. He's planning a trip to teach his kids the 'truth' this summer. I pity his kids.

Those people make my life too difficult. They spend hours memorizing arguments from a bazillion different angles, and then throw them at you rapid fire in such a way that - even if you COULD answer them all, you'd never have time to address half of the points.

I've stopped talking to them altogether. I've got better things to do with my life than read the most popular outdated questions about and arguments against science itself, simply to find the answers for someone too ignorant to listen anyways.

Totally ruined my plans this weekend. Because of ice and snow on the freeways in GA my girlfriend can't drive down, and because of reported snowstorms coming into KY and TN on Sunday she wouldn't have been able to get home in time for work Monday. So now instead of going to a Flogging Molly concert tonight and spending today and tomorrow with her I'm probably going to sit here alone while my roommate and his gf enjoy the V-Day weekend together.

Man my stupid PS3 just died on me. I was just watching a Blu-ray movie and it just froze and now it won't read and discs at all. From what I can figure out the Blu-ray drive died. Since it is out of warranty I am left with the option of paying Sony $150 to repair it or buying a new one.

I am leaning towards the buying a new one since it's only an extra $150 for a brand new slim model but in any case it will take me at least a few months to get enough money to do anything about it.

I hate my damn roommate. I am close to beating the shit out of him.

I'm probably going to come off as xenophobe, but I don't fucking care at this point. My asshat of a roommate is from kazakhstan - he's a mustache away from being Borat; at least in annoyance.

He doesn't have a car, but I don't mind giving him a lift to the store every now and again. However, he'll ask for a lift the day before, and the next day, he doesn't roll in until close to midnight. He then seems all surprised that I am headed for bed.

He leaves dishes and food out all the damn time. He leaves milk, eggs, raw meat, anything out all day. He cooked chicken soup one morning and left it sitting on the stove the entire day. He brought a bowl to my room at 11pm for me to try. I told him no thanks, I'm a Microbiologist, and what you're asking me to do is ridiculous. I said it more polite than that, but seriously.

He must have turrets because he is constantly clapping his hands loudly or will just burst into some sort of Kazakh/Russian shout. He repeats the same lyrics from two songs over and over and over. "Wild horses couldn't drag me away" and "It finally happened - I'm slightly mad."

He slams every damn door in the house every damn time. Bedroom door, bathroom door, refrigerator, cabiners, etc.

I came home tonight. Made dinner. Ate. Chatted with him about Latin phrases, and Condolezza Rice (odd topics, I know), and around 11, I tell him good night, and that I have to get up early in the morning. 10 minutes later, he knocks on my door and asks if I will take him to Whataburger!!! I repeat that I have to get up, and that I am tired. A few minutes later he's in the bathroom yelling "Wild Horses!!" I jump out of bed and open my door and scream "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!! I AM TRYING TO FUCKING SLEEP FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!!!" Now, my adrenaline is going and I am pissed beyond belief. What a fucking douche. I am going to kick him out as soon as possible. FUCK.

I just want some peace and fucking quiet. Man, I need a place to myself!!

Just got a note from my second job, a homecare company. They are missing 5 things for my employee file, one of them being proof of training.

I have no proof of training. I wasn't trained. They threw me to the dogs, knowing full well I had never done anything like this before. This better not cause any problems, because I'm already just scraping by financially, and if I have to look for a job to replace this one ...

Gah. I know typos and whatnot happen, and blogs (even professional ones) are inherently casual, but it drives me insane when paid writers don't know which word they are using. Every time I see someone write compliment when they mean complement, I want to smash my head against my desk. It's gotten to the point that I wonder if people hear the word "complement" and actually think it is supposed to be "compliment." That would be even worse. I really gotta stop reading so many sports blogs.

But I've never heard of anyone I know undertaking anything like that. Weird.

That's kinda how my class was too. My school district was weird where all the elementary schools in the area pooled into a single junior high, which then pooled to the same high school. So everyone I went to high school with I pretty much knew since 6th grade. I distinctly remember this guy being a royal pain in the ass though. I generally tried to be nice to everyone, but I really had to grit my teeth with him.

Hey, it can't be helped sometime. Sometimes no matter how hard you try, there's just something unknown that repels you from someone. I had a guy like that too. I LOVE him now, actually, he's a sweetheart. But in high school something about him just made me cringe.

I just finished talking to the school office at the new korean school I'll be working at in Shenyang,

I have to say that I'm disappointed. First they call me to tell me that it's impossible for them to help me get my work visa and that I need to get a six month visa on my own because there's 'no time'. I told them what my contact with the school told me, which is an advisor sent by the board of directors, which was very different from what they were telling me, and I got a response similar to "tough luck". Later I'm called again and they said to me that suddenly they can do it, but they need my original documents for the work visa and they want me in shenyang in 3 days. That changes again, with them saying that copies are now acceptable, and we can e-mail them to the school. If this was the case the whole time, why call me up demanding that I process my own visa in Tianjin, causing me undue amounts of stress.The whole situation left me very frustrated and the actions of some of the office staff did not do much to improve my mood. They often interrupted me when I spoke, never letting me finish speaking and often hanging up in he middle of the conversation on purpose. The whole ordeal struck me as incredibly unprofessional and makes a very bad impression on me as a coming teacher, knowing that this is the attitude I'm going to have to deal with if I ever have a problem or need from the school office.

I want to throw someone through a wall.

whatever, i'll just bullet point it or something.

roommate leaves his shit everywhere making it hard to get around
roommate thinks i'm the asshole for putting his bike in his room
bike would be near impossibly to steal off our large balcony
he could also just chain the thing up
he brought home a cat without us really talking about it
the cat is a monster who bites me all the time
if it's not biting me it's shredding my papers
if it's not shredding papers it's trying to eat my food as I cook it
it crawls all over me while I try to eat
I am powerless against it because I won't be cruel to it
roommate is hardly ever home to deal with it so he doesn't see problem with cat
roommate goes to bed at about 9 but leaves door open so cat can go in and out of his room
I'm basically forced to just stay in my room from now until I move out because I just can't think of any way to deal with this all.

Re: Annoying cat
Keep a spray bottle filled with water handy. After a couple spritzes, it should learn to stay away. Or at the very least, to haul ass when you have the bottle in hand.

The spray bottle works for only as long as it takes him to lick himself a little bit. Sure, he runs when I show it to him, but it does not last at all.

I will rant in here even though my issues aren't as bad as they other rants.......I still have the urge to let it out ....i'll just state that I don't why Blockbuster feels the need to have their movies due back by noon ......What happened to 6pm and why am I not keeping these movies atleast 5 days like you do in the US? No I only get them for 2 days and if I want them for 5 days It would cost about 12 bucks a movie so by the time I'm done renting 3 movies for 5 days I would have blown 36 bucks ....WHAT A RIP OFF?
Returning movies at noon means that once I go to bed by 2 am and wake up at 6 am I have to immediately return them as I will fall back to sleep and then they'd be late and I was informed by the super pro employee that's it's 2.05 late fee per movie per day?!?!?! WHAT the fuck is that shit? 2.05 ? They had to get their 5 cents in their somewhere huh......Wouldn't want blockbuster to go under so we better give them an extra 5 cents to top off the fact that they will add 12% tax on that shit . Geez if they are going to be such dicks and rip you off the least they could do is carry more english movies.........Last time I checked i was in CANADA not freaking FRANCE!

Also Why is it that I have to be woken up at 6 am to take out the trash? Let me just add there are people in this house who go to work at 8 am and pass right by the trash can but yet I have to wake up on tuesdays to take it out? WHERE IS THE SENSE IN THAT SHIT? not to mention if I don't do it by 6am I get a day loads worth of attitude thrown at me!!!!!! I mean the garbage only passes around 11 am......STOP WAKING ME UP TO DO IT ! ILL DO IT BUT SHIT LET ME DO IT WHEN I'M AWAKE AND there is coffee in me........arrrrrghhhhhh..........Oh and while typing this I was just asked to be ready this evening to go run errands?!?!?! what the hell... last time I checked I ran all my damn errands for the week but now I must accompany the weaker beings around me cuz it's too damn hard to come home from work and do it alone ! Fuck me man arghhhhhhh!

ok that's all I got .....Don't feel much better but maybe that's because I'ts 810 am I drank last night and have already been to blockbuster before I could stick damn coffee down my sore ass throat! Thank you for listening?!

Okay here is a rather minor rant but I felt the need to rant anyways.

As I mentioned earlier my 40GB PS3 just died a few days ago. Now Sony wanted a $150 to repair it I said no thanks. I figured that I could get the new 120GB PS3 Slim for only $150 more and it would come with a year warranty. Of course that meant I would be a few months without a PS3 while I saved up. Well my brother being the nice guy he is said I could use his Best Buy credit card to buy the system and just pay it off. Since it would be a purchase of over $300 there would be no interest for 6 months. I figured okay I can pay it off in no trouble over 6 months in fact I will probably pay it off in less. So I went to Best Buy and every BB near us is completely sold out of PS3's at the moment. One store said they were expecting a few to come in sometime in the next couple of days. So I called them up a few days later and they had 2 left in stock. But by the time I got off from work and got to the store they were sold out. And they told me they had no idea when the next shipment would even arrive. So I am a bit disappointed but not to upset. I figure well they will get one in shortly enough. So I have been just going about my day when I saw on Joystiq that Capcom is offering 50% off on several PSN games. This week was Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (a game I have been wanting to get for awhile but haven't wanted to drop $15 on) So at first I got excited than it hit me 2 seconds later that my PS3 is still broken and I won;t be able to get one before the sale ends. So that was like a cold slap across the face.

Update* Now I find there's air in the fucking thing, so I have to reverse it and blow it all out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a good day!

Okay here is a rather minor rant but I felt the need to rant anyways.

As I mentioned earlier my 40GB PS3 just died a few days ago. Now Sony wanted a $150 to repair it I said no thanks. I figured that I could get the new 120GB PS3 Slim for only $150 more and it would come with a year warranty. Of course that meant I would be a few months without a PS3 while I saved up. Well my brother being the nice guy he is said I could use his Best Buy credit card to buy the system and just pay it off. Since it would be a purchase of over $300 there would be no interest for 6 months. I figured okay I can pay it off in no trouble over 6 months in fact I will probably pay it off in less. So I went to Best Buy and every BB near us is completely sold out of PS3's at the moment. One store said they were expecting a few to come in sometime in the next couple of days. So I called them up a few days later and they had 2 left in stock. But by the time I got off from work and got to the store they were sold out. And they told me they had no idea when the next shipment would even arrive. So I am a bit disappointed but not to upset. I figure well they will get one in shortly enough. So I have been just going about my day when I saw on Joystiq that Capcom is offering 50% off on several PSN games. This week was Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (a game I have been wanting to get for awhile but haven't wanted to drop $15 on) So at first I got excited than it hit me 2 seconds later that my PS3 is still broken and I won;t be able to get one before the sale ends. So that was like a cold slap across the face.

This happened to my nintendo wii and I called them and they said they wanted 75 bucks for repairs so I literally went mental on them and they gave me a brand new one for free. Call them 100 times and complain at how ridiculous it is to pay for it when u could get a new for a lil more .......Tell them lots of people complain about this issue it's what I did with a WII I then thru out there that i had been a big buyer of nintendo thru my life and that I would let everyone i know how shitty they make their new systems when I have their old systems and they work just fine. I mean I went completly psychotic and in the end I have a free brand new wii. Who knows maybe that could work !

I've spent a good portion of my day trying to convert a video to play on my iPod. I've used this program many, many times in the past with little to no hassle at all.

Three separate conversion attempts. It's a little under 2 hours long.

I'm no closer now then when I started. Each time it has failed to play.

Sometimes it would be nice if software would just work like I think it's going to work.

Today he's getting his teeth cleaned and some crazy person skinned the side of my car from the front of the driver side door alllllllll the way down to the end of the bumper with their fraking white car. Even somehow got the door handle. WTF?? Luckily there is not a dent on the car. Weird huh? Soooooooooo saturday I get to go price paint job fixes. Tin and I are getting married in 2 1/2 months and this is our wedding car to drive off in. *AHEM*

My wife has a 2009 Jeep Patriot. The car is leaking from somewhere when it rains. The cargo area fills up with water when it rains, and the headliner is now water damaged. We took it to the dealership, and the repairman there told us that it would happen again. Sure enough, it did. So we took it in again. The repairman says "Take it up with Jeep". So we did. Not before searching the web, and finding the same complaint from many, many, many other people. Apparently it's some kind of design flaw. So we called Jeep, and were assigned a "case manager" who told us (and this is literal) "If they can't fix it, they can't fix it." What? My wife, who loves this sort of confrontational crap, went to town on them. She demanded a new car right there on the spot, making a really good case. I mean this is stupid. A new car, with less than 11000 miles on it shouldn't have this trouble. Actually scratch that. It first happened around 3000 miles. I know this is only twice, but our anger is more about the fact that both Jeep and the dealership are sort of shrugging their shoulders and going "Well what do you want US to do about it?" We get wet when it rains. If we stop hard, water sloshes forward and dumps on us like a bucket. And we're not alone.

Oddly, this isn't the first time we've been through the Lemon Law gymnastics. We had to do it about 7 years ago for a VW New Beetle (again, the www showed many other people having the same complaints). That thing was much worse. It must've been slapped together on a weekend by drunkards. Nothing worked right. The trunk release failed, the windows stopped working. It wouldn't start one morning at about 1000 miles. Once I turned the key and all the dash lights started flashing wildly. We ended up getting a buyback on that one before we had to go full on Lemon Law.

I could have told you that Patriots are the biggest piles of shit that Jeep has ever churned out. The only good Jeeps have been CJ's, certain models of Wrangler, and 1988-1999 Cherokees. The Grand Cherokees are nice but they're waaaaaaaaay overpriced.

I have to tell you, I am pretty brand loyal to jeep. This is the first bad one I've owned. I absolutely loved my 2003 Liberty Renegade. I would've kept it if it wasn't getting a little ragged for the family car.[/QUOTE]

I'm brand loyal as well. I was crazy sad when I sold my Rubicon. Lousy family!

There's no better feeling than taking your Jeep on a trail with no top; no doors and fording through a three foot deep stream, right before you get into a mud pit. I still think it's blasphemy that the new Wranglers have optional power doors and windows.

Does anyone else find body washes with exfoliants in it as stupid as I do? Exfoliants work by having 2 flat surfaces rub with the beads between them. Like Gojo or Lava or St Ives Apricot Scrub. But the body washes are usually applied with a loofa, a porous surface. The exfoliants will do NOTHING with a loofa being one of the backing sides. Now, if you were to use your hands to use the body wash then maybe it would work, but it would take a ton of body wash and it wouldn't lather well. For some reason idiotic design choices like that make me furious. I just KNOW there was someone intelligent in those meetings saying "guys this product will do nothing because of X, Y, and Z" and the people in charge just smiled and shook their heads and said "but it has exfoliants. It has wut plants need!"

Feb 19, 2010#175

makare

I thought exfoliates buff off dead skin. That's what my face scrub does.

Feb 19, 2010#176

Necronic

That's what they do, yes, but they only work if there is pressure applied to them while they roll on your skin. A loofa (the general tool of choice for body washes) is physically incapable of applying that pressure.

Edit: It would be like putting sandpaper on a marshmallow and trying to smooth some wood.

Yeah, I know how those big things can be. About 4 years ago my then fiance broke up with me (via email, no less) and I couldn't rant about it on the my main forum at the time (not this one) because we'd met on that forum.

It's unfair to always be the focal point of someone's frustration, even if you are not the cause. That's something you both need to discuss when you've both cooled off and even better if you can do it with a councilor of some sort.

And my lame ass problem is; I am completely smitten with a friend of a friend of mine. I met her a couple of days ago at this friend's birthday dinner and was immediately attracted to her like a fucking magnet. She's like my bloody ideal woman physically (6 feet tall and athletic as hell) and though I don't really know her that well, we got along fantastically well and as I've learned, she likes me right back and isn't seeing anyone currently. My problem is I'm in a relationship. I have been for several months now. I love my girlfriend but we never get to see each other, me being a cop working random 10 hour shifts and her being a nurse working random 12 hour shifts our schedules never coincide. I know it's probably just a "forbidden fruit" kind of crush..most likely...anyway since I've never, ever been in this situation before in my life (I usually counted my ass as lucky to even have one girl interested in me at all).

I know what I should do, but I don't want to. Fuck. Ass. Balls.

Considering my financial situation, I should be happy to work tonight. But all my friends are having a movie marathon/drinking game for midterm break, and to celebrate the end of the opera that they all just put off on Thursday/Friday (which was fucking brilliant, by the way. How in god's name do I have such talented friends?!)

Anyhow, this was going to be the perfect opportunity to see where things go with a female friend of mine, who I've recently learned is interested. I'm pretty interested myself, and though I'm not sure how things will go long-term, I've heard through the grapevine that she isn't looking for anything too serious. Which would at least make things easy.

So that's pretty balls. Not to mention that it's the first opportunity I've had to safely test my limits alcohol-wise since I started drinking about half a year ago.

8 bucks for a loofah?! Damn. I've always used one of these (not the same brand, but same concept). They are much coarser than a loofah, which I prefer since whenever I've tried to use a loofah it doesn't feel like it's doing anything. If you have an asian market of some sort nearby, you should be able to pick one up for a couple bucks.

Frankie, I would suggest staying loyal to your girlfriend. She has done nothing to deserve getting dumped. Think about how you'll look back on this situation in five years. You'll be proud as hell if you do right thing. I can honestly say I've been faithful with every girl I've dated. I have made mistakes, and some of those mistakes were HUGE, but I'm squeaky clean in that area.

@Darkangel - Words said in anger can never be taken back. On many occasions the offender won't even apologize, especially if they're stubborn. Trying to force an apology only makes things worse. Believe me, I know.

That's neat but I like my loofah. I'll be getting another one eventually. I don't really use a loofah for it's exfoliating abilities anyway, like I said I just use the scrub with my hands. I like loofahs because they are puffy and work well with the foamy soap I love.

GAHH!! Why cant people just let things go. I recently moved and I knew no one here so I met someone who ended up inviting me to a party they were having. Cool a chance to meet people, but all this one girl can do all night is try to get me to register to vote here, all so I can sign a form so she can run for some office. Hell the elections arent til November and I dont even know if I will still be in this state. I change subjects plenty of times but whenever theres a lull she jumped right back to 'so when are you going to fill out the registration form?' All night long making me seem like a douche in front of all these people ruining my chance of finally making some friends in this damn town. Why the hell should I even have to defend myself for that decision, Im still registered to vote just not for you. I said no just let it be. Seriously Id rather have you bitch about me than bitch to me just so I can become another one of your numbers.

@Darkangel - Words said in anger can never be taken back. On many occasions the offender won't even apologize, especially if they're stubborn. Trying to force an apology only makes things worse. Believe me, I know.

Well I have to say ......Your right words said in anger can't be taken back......But i supposed once ur anger goes down from having to hear those words you can work on the process of forgiveness.....Luckily my offender being my hubby .......He's stubborn but wise enough to apologize. Which has been done.......So today the world seems a lil brighter again hehe

So on the ranting side of things. Today's the 5th anniversary of my brother's death. I gotta hike out about an hour to his grave, which I really don't feel like doing today since I'm so bogged down with work. My parent's are both pissed at me. I guess I'll go... Good times...

My son works part time at a movie theater. The other night they popped a shitload of popcorn that they ended up throwing away because the people they made it for didn't eat it. (They host Indian Bollywood movies.)

I have made mistakes, and some of those mistakes were HUGE, but I'm squeaky clean in that area.

I know that. I would never cheat on her. If I ever were to go for another woman I would end it first. And I also know that I'm not going to over an infatuation with this other girl.

I still can't get her out of my God damn mind though. She even popped in in a dream I had the other night. Someone said to me something to effect of, "Hey, isn't that your ex?" and I was like, "No, no, no, no, no, we've never dated." and then everyone else in the dream were mocking me for lying. Really God damn bizarre.

Stuck at the Tampa airport until God knows when. Ugh. What a rotten way to end my awesome Florida trip. But apparently, Ontario is currently getting throttled with a bad snow storm. So, I'm stuck here until at LEAST 9 PM and won't get in until midnight-ish. Fortunately, my roommate is ALSO stuck (in Halifax) and we may very well fly in about the same time, so we can split on a cab. Fortune smiles in at least one small way.

The other rant? My parents. They're CONSTANTLY at each other's throats, either bickering or snapping at each other over the smallest fucking thing. It's any wonder I grew up to have depression. In the airport restaurant before I went through security/customs, I finally let it all out. I told them that they should either separate (which they've BOTH talked about doing for years) or get counselling. I told them I'd much prefer the former and their reasoning seems to be that it's too late for that (Dad's in his 70s, Mom in her 60s, but you wouldn't know it to look at them, since Dad's STILL playing a lot of tennis and Mom looks more like her 40s). Anyway, it was really frustrating to be around them, which was all the time over the last few days, listening to them argue and snap at each other over the smallest thing.

Man what a weekend.

It started out alright I stayed up late playing games and had a good evening on Friday. Than fast forward to Saturday I had to go over to my parents house to pick up some of my old stuff I hadn't got a chance to pick up yet. So anyways it takes longer to get started than it should but whatever. So I get started on that and while I am getting my stuff my mom is doing something else and she loses her balance and falls. She hits her head (luckily she was on the carpet) and she couldn't get up. My brother who was nearest to her helped her up. She was in extreme pain she couldn't even walk by herself. But she didn't want to go to the Doctors finally after much arguing we persuaded her to let us take her in. So my dad and my sister take her in to the doctors while my brother and I watched my niece and finished picking up the house. One thing I was majorly concerned with was the fact that my mom has a a tumor near her pituitary gland and I was afraid that when she hit her head it may have made that worse in some way.

So I end up not getting to bed until after 1:00 a.m. and I have to get up early the next day so i couldn't sleep in. Anyways as far as my mom goes they said that she had a minor concussion and they were also concerned she may have had a stroke or a seizure cause her arm was numb and she was a bit out of it. So on Sunday I get informed that my mom is still in the hospital and they are running tests cause she was up all night in extreme pain and was still having issues. ( of course they still have no good idea what the cause of the issues are) So I have try to help my dad and the rest of my family that day while at the same time running a few errands of my own.

That night I was completely exhausted from the previous days and decide to call out from work on Monday. Partly so I could rest but mainly so I could be at the house in case they found out anything about my mom/needed some help with anything. As far as my mom goes they were still running tests cause she spent the whole night throwing up and was on nebulizers all night. (of course the doctors still have no real idea the cause) so they ran tests all day yesterday and she is starting to do better but they aren't sure if they will let her out today or not. So here I am at work tired, concerned about my mom, annoyed at the lack of concrete info the doctors were able to give, behind a day at work and generally annoyed up to the eyeballs.

Well I got a call that my mom will be able to leave the hospital today they said that she is doing better. They still aren't sure quite why it was as bad as it was. They are thinking it could have been the tumor that made it worse when she hit her head so they are contemplating removing the tumor sooner rather than later. But at least she will be able to come home today.

My sister is an idiot.
Reason 1- Last night the apartment of this friend of hers we don't know was busted with like 3000 dollars worth of drugs in it. Well, this friend and another guy we do know Mike, are on the run from the cops and they come to my parents house where my sister lives. My sister LET'S THEM STAY at the house. They were gone in the morning and my mom only found out because the mother of the Mike's girlfriend called and said that she better get them the hell out of the house. My mom called the cops and told them they had been at the house but were now gone. So they are gone and all's well that end's well I guess.. so far.

Reason 2- Back when my sister was doing a lot of drugs she and her friend Rob stole checks from Rob's grandpa and forged them at various places around town to get money for drugs. They got busted. Rob took all the heat for it because he is a minor and my sister, who was 20 at the time, was never really implicated in any of it. Both of them went off to rehab. Well, this was like a year ago and last weekend when I was home I was talking to my sister about it and she said "oh yeah you know I still have some of those checks." she went and got them from her room, sure enough there were these forged checks. That's just great let's keep evidence of a major crime in our house you goddamn idiot! She tore them up and threw them away.

Honestly I dont know what is wrong with that child.

This is a pointless rant....

Tomo is my 4th wedding anniversary and my hubby is in Arizona.....He thought he would do something special by ordering me an edible arrangement and having it delivered so I could be surprised........Now I bet everyone is thinking if it's a surprise why do you know about it? Well the answer to that is because he tried to order it and called me all upset and pissed off because turns out they don't deliver to my Neck of the woods and if I wanted it I'd have to drive thru downtown Montreal to go pick it up......Which would kinda kill the whole reason of doing it.

So that's my rant.......I live off tradition and each wedding anniversary has a tradition last year it was leather and Crystal so we managed to accomplish that........He got a leather wallet and My mom gave us her Crystal Vase which was her wedding gift ......The year before on #2 it was cotton and china so we got Towels embroidered with our names on it and anniversary date and bought China dishes from Walmart.....not real china but they we're made in China so we figured that was close enough lol. And Year 1 was paper and clocks so we bought special paper and wrote a special note to one another on it and My mother made us a clock with our wedding photo inside.......So this year number 4 is Fruit and Appliances.....

Can't afford appliances at the moment and well there went the fruit idea when edible arrangements decided they are to lazy to drive across the bridge to make our day special......I suppose when I wake up alone tomo I will go buy myself an apple and a slapchop close enough right?!

That's all I got for today

Argh.

So, there's this guy in my girlfriend's neighborhood who she's known since before I even met her. This guy is a /total/ dickwad. He put up a façade of kindness and a listening ear when she needed one and as such she thinks that he is her friend. On the flipside, however, whenever she is not in need of somebody to talk to he's treating her like total shit. Example; he cheated on his (now ex-)girlfriend by getting drunk and having sex with my (then-not-yet) girlfriend but now that his girlfriend broke up with him, he is completely convinced that my girlfriend has lied to his girlfriend about the whole ordeal, calls her a lying whore, etc. And this is not even the worst part. Now my girlfriend realizes that he's a bad influence on her (thank god) but she can't convince herself to actually break off contact with him because she's scared that she'll treat him even worse and because she believes that some part of him still cares for her as a friend.

And I'm too far away to do anything about it. Damnit, what does it take for this shitfucking bitchweasel to get the fuck out?

My coworker went on vacation for the rest of the week and I'm his backup. We run several reports based on SQL queries. He had all of his queries set up as Private so I couldn't run them. So he copied them to be public. Trouble is, he didn't SCHEDULE THEM TO RUN! Add to this the fact that he made some major updates to the private one that didn't get done in the public one so my data is all fucked up. I'm thinking of growing my hair longer so that I can tear it out.

There's this one PI here that never shuts the fuck up once he starts talking to you. He saw me wearing a Pirates hat and went into a 15 minute long diatribe about Pittsburgh and baseball. Meanwhile, I'm just nodding my head and wishing he'd go away. I'm not even that crazy about baseball, I just like the feel of the Major League hats.

No but my office has the guy who makes all the lame jokes. We see each other like every 10 minutes or so in the office hallway and he ALWAYS SAYS SOMETHING! "Are you following me?" "Hi, stranger!" "You come here often?" "We have to stop meeting like this!"

Agreed. One hello is enough in the morning. After that, just walk by with a slight nod.

Why is it parentals feel the need to call me at 830am after knowing I went back to bed at 745 am to ask if I want tupperware? Yesterday it was something else she had to ask at 830 am...Also why is it that I have to run errands with her tonight and every thursday , and every saturday at 8 am? Can she not do it alone? Why do I have to go along for the ride? I just wanna eat fruit with chocolate but that got ruined when my hubby wanted to buy me an Edible Arrangement.....Turns out the fuckers don't deliver to my area.

I could go on about how i Have to take the trash out at 630 am or the recycling and how the bin has to be in before 3 pm or people have heart attacks but I have a stupid cold and am too tired to continue.

Happy Anniversary. :\ Hope you feel better.

My rant is that it's stupid to appoint partners for classroom assisting. Talk about too many cooks... Every partner I've ever had is too busy to get together to plan a lesson, which means we have to plan it by email. I have no idea yet if my current partner is reliable... all she does is mumble and nod. And since I'm the more assertive partner every single semester, I always come off looking like an overly-aggressive bossy knowitall. Hey, one of us has to come up with the damn ideas. God, I can't wait for real student teaching, when I'll have no one to blame but myself for something not working out. I know they're trying to teach us the value of our colleagues and how no one in a school really works "alone." I get that. I learned my lesson. I cannot be an island. I know I'll be able to make nice at curriculum and faculty meetings. I've sat in on them, and a lot of them are useful. There are plenty of lessons some teachers wouldn't know about without them. ...Now let me be responsible for my grade and get this sucker out of my way.

That's the one and only thing good about being perpetually in debt - you never have to worry about what to get the other for holidays. My wife and I haven't exchanged gifts in a very long time. When we DO have money we do stuff and say, "This is your birthday!" or something similar.

There are several lists that you can find online. My wife and I follow an older style. It's awesome becasue the first anniversary was 'Paper.' All the gifts were expensive back in the day, but now everything is cheap until you get into the 10+ years.

Here's a good list http://www.findgift.com/Anniversary-Table/

We follow the one on the left.[/QUOTE]

We try to use both but in the cheapeast way possible.....We can't afford an appliance at the moment but when's he back we're gonna buy a deep freezer for the garage and I will buy my stand mixer lol......I already ate fruit today and I'm sure i'll get flowers when I see him. It's lots of fun to follow the traditions and makes it easier on gift ideas.

Ok I agree with the Oak and Furniture and Diamonds and shit at 80 .....I also agree at 80 you do just want dried fruit lol !

We follow it just for fun because we don't wanna buy one another the same old stuff we always buy. Flowers , Video Games ,clothes ......Just something to make the day special because we usually don't go out for dinner or anything like that. Usually we just cook dinner watch movies and play video games so by following the list it helps signify that's it's our special day .

I just got off the phone with my sister and apparently my mom fell again today adn they are taking her to the doctors. Now luckily she didn't fall as hard today as she did a few days ago but since she also fell yesterday she finally agreed to go to the doctors to get checked out. ( I personally think she should have gone in yesterday when she fell but she didn't want to) so now I am waiting to hear back about how that is all going. But it still has me concerned cause her balance or something is obviously messed up. I am wondering if it could be the tumor near her pituitary gland but my mom said the doctors didn't think that was it. (of course the doctors have no ideas as to a cause) So I am concerned about my mom but on top of that I am mad/concerned about my dad. Now my dad has had asthma problems, back problems, and too many other problems to go into all of them. He has been doing better but there are times when he just doesn't seem quite him self. It usually is around times of stress and he has been stressed about my mom so he has been seeming a bit weird. But the part that made me mad was that his glasses broke the other day and today instead of calling me or one of my brothers or sister to take my mom to the doctors he decided to drive her himself but as I said his glasses are broken and he should not be driving without them. So now I am concerned/mad at my dad and I am concerned at my mom and mad at the doctors for their inability to give a straight concrete answer to why she is having the troubles she has been having. but than again I should not be to surprised about the doctors lack of answers. growing up they nearly killed my dad often enough by giving him medicine they knew he was allergic to and other stupid thing like that.

Sorry Hylian. It's hard to grow up and see your folks look all vulnerable. :\

miniscule rant: I had to block 3 friends on facebook this week who were cluttering up my page because they're using their status messages as some kind of diet and exercise diary. Don't know why it annoys me to see half a page of people talking about what they ate, why they feel bad about it, and what body part they're going to work out today. But for some reason it does. Maybe I'm just cranky because it's lunchtime.

Also the lesson didn't go well. I hate working with a partner.

So it's weird being back in an academic lab full time. Everything is so much more laid back than industry. I almost feel like I'm being a hardass on the lazy grad students. I get kinda pissed off when they tell me they'll do something and wait a month to do it.

Academics do a lot of talking, but are soft on action (yet their labs look busy all the time, so go figure). I've tried to set up a lot of collaborations where meetings go great and everyone seems excited, then I go to them a week later and they're like "Wut? Oh, yeah, sounds good. I'll get back to you." Luckily the guy I'm consulting for at the university is an exception.[/QUOTE]

I'm guilty of this, but it isn't intentional. If I say I want to do something or pitch an idea, it's on top of an already busy schedule dominated by teaching and grad student advising. I've got some archaeologists out in Hockley, TX waiting on me for like a month because two grad students are finishing up, and I haven't had the time.

I have allowed my passive-aggressive tendencies (tendencies which I have only recently become fully aware of) to get so out of hand that now I'm afraid to express my distaste for things for fear that I'll blow things out of proportion due to pent up anger, or worse, that it's not even something worth being upset about and I can't tell the difference anymore.

To borrow a phrase, I have no mouth, and I must scream.

I hate fucking bureaucracy! Some may know that I lost my job a couple of months ago, and after a few weeks moping, I decided to go back to school again.All is well for a month,albeit a little tight,since after 2 years of having a job and a modest income,im back to a student lifestyle,but I dont mind. Well,so I went to the bank today to finally get my Monthly Money from the Government (Here in Germany,if you payed your taxes for at least 2 years, you may collect for 12 months 60% of your old income or till you find a new job) exited like a 12 year old a christmas,for it takes our fucked up Pencil-pushers months till they finished my paperworks and my savings were all dried up.
So then the bank tells me that nothing arrived,and im like "Huh,whats going on here?" So I called the Agency in charge for my money and after some searching they found out that "ooops...we wrote the wrong number for your Bank Account." so now I got to wait 2 weeks till my cash arrives.But till then Im gonna be hit by effing late fees and overdrawn account fees that it will all be gone after i finished paying my bills and hit. ARG! I want to go over to the Agency and stab that fucker that messed it up with a pencil!

I blew up at my daughter today. When my wife was unemployed we had severe money problems and I discovered that she had been eating breakfast at school instead of at home before she left. So consequently she was blowing through almost $50 a week for school lunch. Normally $50 can last 2 weeks. So I asked her to start eating at home instead of school. Then I found out she kept doing it, citing not having enough time at home. I told her she was done doing it and started giving her $5 a day (which was a huge pain in the ass), telling her that if she didn't eat at home she'd be hungry. Last week we had no money at all so I couldn't give her the $5. My wife wrote her a check for $50 so that she could eat and we crossed our fingers that I'd get paid before the check hit.

I looked this morning and she'd been eating breakfast again. I went off. I did something I've never done before - I started calling her names. I know I called her a selfish little bitch and told her she didn't care about us. I told her she couldn't be treated as an adult and that she was losing pretty much everything (internet, phone, etc.). I then told her to get the hell out of my sight and she left in tears.

On the one hand I feel bad for calling her names, but on the other side I don't feel badly at all because treating her like an adult person didn't work. She knew we were in financial trouble and she just kept spending money like it was nothing. My wife said, "Is it still a big deal now that I have a job?" My response, "It's not about the money any more."

I really, truly felt like smacking her when she was snorting and rolling her eyes at me when I was talking to her but I didn't.

Tonight at home is gonna be SO much fun.

Feel bad, Dave. The emotion you are eliciting is a bad one; badly implies that you are doing a wrong job at being capable of feeling.

And, that sucks, but you're in a stressful situation. I think an apology but a reinforcement of the importance of scrimping is in order! She'll make it through.

Or, you know, call DCFS on your ass, Baldwin.

Aw... well, it happens, Dave. I remember being a bitchy teenager, making my usually clean-mouthed parents say things I never thought they'd say. I imagine that having someone you helped create scoffing and rolling their eyes at any logical argument you present can be pretty infuriating. If you say you're sorry for the name calling and, like Juski says, still stress the importance of why you were so angry, maybe it'll get through. I hope it gets better!

Mar 1, 2010#351

fade

Problem with saying you're sorry, as much as you want to, is that she's going (a) think she was right and justified and (b) use tears as a weapon in the future. I don't know if I'd apologize directly. Maybe talk more kindly about the situation, but keep the attention there for now.

Mar 1, 2010#352

Maybe a grumpy apology is the way to. Angry, but sorry because of the tone used?

Mar 1, 2010#353

I won't apologize. I was not in the wrong. I told her not to do X and she did X. I let it slide the first time because I spoke to her like an adult and thought she got it. I was wrong.

Mar 1, 2010#354

Cajungal

There's definitely some truth in that, but I'm not sure if it has to go like that. My dad used to say he was sorry for the bad language, but he still meant what he said (about whatever he was trying to teach me). One time there was no apology, just something along the lines of, "I lost my temper. You know I don't really think you're __insult here__, but you weren't listening to the important things I was trying to say. Next time would you please have a conversation with me and not make it a fight?"

While yelling is never a good response I can see where you are coming from and I think if I had been in the same situation I would have been just as pissed off as you where. And I agree with you that it is beyond the point of money being money tight. you had asked her to stop and she refused and she is using your hard money while refusing to listen to you and that is just like a double slap in the face.

I understand what you guys are all saying which is why this is in the rant thread. I feel bad but know I should probably feel worse than I do. I'm not even worried as much about the lesson any more because she already KNEW the lesson and ignored it. Now the lesson is not so much "Don't eat breakfast at school." but is "When your dad tells you something you better damned well listen."

I feel bad that I called her names but at least I know it got through to her.

I agree and it's not like calling her a selfish bitch is really that insanely horrid. I've been called many worse things by my mother but I know never to fuck with her so I learnt that way.

It may have hurt her feelings but she will learn that when u speak and ask her to do something ....she will do it.......ANd maybe bitch could have been left out of the phrase but she was acting selfishly and there is nothing wrong with telling her so. Just my opinion. My mother has used this approach and it always worked for me.

My rant of the day....

I'm mad , Sad and pretending to be happy for about a week now. .....

My Husband said something absolutely horrendous to me . And i've asked for advice but all I seem to get back is that such a thing being said is crossing a line and I agree with that but now I don't know what to do ......I've told husband that I'm mad about this phrase that was said to me and all I get was I really didn't mean it...I love you and I"m truly sorry.

I'm beginning to think I should just let it go then the lil voice in my head comes back and says BUT IT CROSSED THE LINE ! so i'm real confused and irritated !
Oh and my mother stayed home from work today again for no reason just to make my life hell !!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE LIFE RIGHT NOW !

I disagree with you there. But then, it depends on the kid. My six year old boy forgets the anger as soon as it's done. But he WON'T forget an apology, and not in the good way. He'll use it as a means of manipulation. I'm not saying don't be nice or kind to her afterwards and I'm not saying the initial name calling was right (it wasn't, but Dave knows that), but I think a direct apology exposes your jugular.

Mar 1, 2010#362

Chazwozel

I'm a big wuss when it comes to my kids. Especially my daughter. I know I can have a temper, to the point of scaring the shit out them from yelling. After scolding them and things cool down I always make sure they feel alright afterward. My wife and I usually sit them down and ask them if they know why we were upset with them, and we'll go over why what they did was wrong. It's worked so far. Both kids are really good kids for the most part; they're both pretty mellow too. I've never had them act up in public or anything like that.

I'm so fucking glad I don't have to deal with teenagers yet, but by that age they know right and wrong etc...

I think Dave was in the right place to get pissed, and sometimes hurting their feelings is what gets them to turn the ship around, especially teenagers. But I'll tell you from experience, once you get on the trend of buying food on the go for breakfast or lunch, it's very, very, very hard to get out of that habit.

I failed at securing a second interview with the school that called two weeks ago. I had a feeling it didn't go as well as desired. The waiting game begins again now. The worst case scenario is I am stuck in the job I have for another year, which isn't so bad. But it is a bit depressing feeling unwanted. Mostly I think it is a matter of unprecedented competition for positions. Still, I wish more schools would inform about the status of their searches. I'm done waiting.

You selfish bitch! Dude, stop beating yourself up over it. My old man threw my sister out of the house for stealing money when she was 17 or 18. She stomped off in a huff, telling him that she'd be just fine without and I quote, "you fucking stupid idiots". Yeah, one week later she shows up at the door with no money and pleading to come back home. Sometimes teenagers need a rude awakening to straighten up. Maybe you blowing up at your daughter will finally cause those synapses to start firing and make the correlation that listening to parents = less rules and regulations for me.

Darkangel, about your fight--

I'm with grue, there's not much that I can say with so little information... nothing that would be helpful, anyway. It's a hard time for both of you right now; he doesn't want to be away, I'm sure, and I know that the separation is probably hard on you too. That can cause a lot of tension. Even though he said he's sorry, it's hard to achieve any sort of closure in a fight when you're dealing with distance.

This is just my $0.02, read or ignore: Again, I have no idea what he said to you... You said that all you got was an apology, but living away from you that's kind of all he can do. You can either accept it and deal day by day with whatever anger you have left or tell him that you need time before you can forgive the words. I'm guessing you're both craving a little comfort and peace of mind, so if you can find a way to get over it, and if you really believe that his apology wasn't empty, it might be best to accept the apology and set this fight as a precedent. If you forgive him, he has to know that what he said is unacceptable. That's a positive aspect of conflict in a relationship: It's a good way to set boundaries.

Like I said before, the details are unknown to me, so that's probably a lot of blah blah blah. I'm sure that time will heal all wounds.

So, now I'm over a week into Levaquin, after 20 days of something else, and the sinus infection headaches seem to have slowed. This would be grand, except now I'm getting a headache at the base of my skull, only on the left side, that occasionally decides to spread the length of the left side of my head like someone is pushing a railroad spike through my skull. What the fuck?

You know that picture you guys post of the guy's head exploding? I'm really starting to envy that guy.

That sounds painful. I had a monster of a head cold last year. Even after it went away my head still felt sore and clogged up. Eventually my upper teeth started to ache whenever I ran or got jostled. It was mostly on one side of my head, too. One day I sneezed and blew my nose... and it just kept coming. You remember Nickelodeon Gak? Yeah, it was just like that. I needed several tissues to contain it all. But my headache was gone after that.

As for my rant, I'm in a Spanish class taught by the department head. She's a ball-breaker when it comes to homework and grades. All the other Spanish professors know it's only second semester Spanish so they're pretty lenient (ie. they won't mark you down if an accent mark's out of place). Not only do we have twice as much homework as the other sections, we also have harder quizzes as well. Instead of the normal quizzes that everybody in the department uses, she rewrites them so they're more difficult. I should've signed up for the section taught by my previous professor because she was a sweet-natured Mexican lady who didn't care if we used the wrong accent. I never scored below a 92 in her class but can't seem to get above an 85 in this one.

Want to know a secret? I am spanish, I fancy myself a writer and I usually miss accents. It's kinda ridiculous, but, I don't know why, there are times they come natural and times they don't. Writing the same exact words!

As much as I don't understand women, I sure as hell don't understand men. I have a female friend who is goddamn adorable. Like, she is the perfect girl. She is into a mutual friend of mine who is a great guy, but a bit of a nerd.

She has asked him on a date, and he said no. That's fine. But then he started to drift away, and she was afraid that she drove him there. So she talked to him again and apologized for asking him on a date, before telling him that she wanted to see more of him even if it was just as a friend.

He basically told her that they couldn't hang out anymore, just the two of them. If they're going to hang out at all, the minimum number is three people.

Ugh, he is such a dolt. I'm not sure he even realizes what he's passing up. Worse, he's essentially ending his friendship with this gem of a human being, because he's nervous about girls.

Not really a rant but a general observation.

I'm on a 2 week vacation in Jaco, Costa Rica with the fam. Rented a nice 3bdrm condo in a gorgeous area and it's been a great, semi-relaxing vacation.

I'm trying to avoid work-contact but that's well-nigh impossible. I'm glad I brought a laptop for my studies but the urge to check work email is always overwhelming and for whatever reason, my staff are emailing me and asking questions which I guess is just part of the responsibility of being a boss. Of course, when they get the read receipt, they email me to stop reading emails. STOP SENDING THEM THEN.

The issue is my family - specifically my mother and father. They are not good tourists - or rather they are the stereotypical tourists: loud, annoying, ignorant. Coupled with a constant battle of blame for when things go wrong, it's all I can do to maintain my sanity. Bless them for staying away from the wife and I for the most part and allowing us to do our own thing. I spend most of my time wakeboarding and the wife hangs out at the pool while the rest of them toddle into town for things to buy. I'm so accustomed to living alone with the wife that I'm definitely not used to having other people around, regardless of them being family. We're fortunate enough to have a large bedroom and ensuite bathroom to ourselves but...walls are thin. ADAM SMASH! The preponderance of morning and afternoon sex underscores that point. It's the only time we're relatively alone. I've taken to downloading movies to the laptop and taking some quality time alone in our room just to 'escape'.

I'm trying to pick up as much Spanish as possible while I'm down here. Similarities to French make it a lot easier to learn vocab, and you can usually fake your way through the grammar. My father has a grossly overconfident view of his Spanish abilities and my mothers reliance on him for words gets them quickly into trouble when not in ear shot.

They like to wave at taxis as they pass, wondering why the taxis turn around and try to offer them a ride *sigh*.
They also like to yell at the Policia as they drive by. (I am not paying out bribes to keep them out of the clink)

They also constantly bitch about how expensive things are. Like a steak.
...
It's not Texas (Or Alberta for that matter). I can't stress that enough but they refuse to understand.

Ah well. I turn off the brain, head into the surf and get smashed around a bit by some great waves. If it wasn't for the sunburn I got right away, I'd probably enjoy myself more.

Another 10 days to go.

Mar 4, 2010#426

ThatNickGuy

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I have to move. AGAIN.

Long and short of it:

My roommate's former roommate (who I replaced) threatened legal action against the company to take her name off the lease. They balked, took her name off the lease. So, basically, we have two options: move out by May 1 or show proof that we can pay the rent for the next year (either have $12,000 in the bank or paycheques that prove we can pay rent).

Which, being students, just isn't possible for either of us.

I'll be honest, Espy, I have no idea why you're so upset. People will be misinformed, no matter what we do. Whether we label it as entertainment or news, people will always choose ignorance over knowledge.

For me, it's just a movie. It doesn't insult me personally. If anything, it helped me discover some history I didn't know before by looking into it. If nothing else, the inaccuracies actually made the truth stick easier in my mind.

So I get to enjoy a movie with lots of action and crazy scenes, and laugh that some people think it is historical. Win/win.[/QUOTE]

:wtf:Huh? I'm upset? What? I just jumped into the conversation. People were talking about how this movie or that movie wasn't historically accurate and it seemed to bug them and Fade and I said, meh, we still liked Braveheart. You said "thats fine too. It's just one of the things I found funny" and I responded with a little rant (in the rant thread) about something that annoys me, people who think they are history majors after reading or watching a book/movie that is loosely based on a historical situation.

So Ofcourse after calling him 10 times and wondering if he's ok and he finally calls I can't help but explode .....then I get a drunken slurrrrr baby it's ok i just fell asleep, I Ofcourse immediately think this is bullshit but at that point it's 4 am and I'm to tired and mad to really give a shit.........

Ok not a big deal but really god damn irritating.....So once again bedtime fell at 4 am....I've just woken up haven't even smelled my coffee yet and I'm informed I must go pick up dog shit in the yard. ARGH I"M SO IRRITATED and my day hasn't even begun......and for the record I'm so not picking up dog shit till my coffee is in me my shower is taken and I've worked out......I'm making sure I stick with my plan today regardless of drunken passed out husband and dog shit that needs to be picked up !

I officially Boycott all weekends .......Atleast my days during the week are filled with fun and happines.

The End

Looks like I've got the place I mentioned. Basement apartment, the landlord's really nice and it's my favourite part of town. Only two concerns are:
1) When it torrentially rains (like super-hard), there's a leak that runs through the kitchen and drains into the storage room drain. Nothing really that bad, honestly.
2) The exit goes directly outside, which I'm concerned about for my escape artist of a cat. Though, I believe there's a door to the basement that people tended to remove when moving, so I might see about getting that re-installed.

No you don't. You get sand everywhere and unless it's a really nice beach it smells and there's garbage.[/QUOTE]

I would rather complain about sand in my ass crack than being alone for the rest of my life

For the love of God, woman... make your child stop screeching, or take him somewhere else. I know a cafe isn't a library, but come on. I can let go A LOT when it comes to small children, but he's just entirely too loud.

There's a fine line between challenging game elements, and annoying game elements. If you fall off the platform, you get to do the whole thing over again! 'Cause why not?

Since my parent's divorce, my mother has made friends with a few people back home. One of them was a woman who went to the same church my mother started going to, a woman named Judy.

Judy is an incredible woman. Her husband left her a few years ago, and her only daughter doesn't seem to care much about her mother. Judy is also a cancer patient, undergoing treatments and the like, and in spite of everything, has been one of the most alive women I've met. When I was home back in October, and during Christmas, she was at the house a lot, and spent a lot of time with us. She came out, in January I believe, for some treatment in the hospital out here, and my mother came with her. The three of us spent two days hanging out, laughing and joking. It's weird to think of Judy as my friend because she's nearly twice my age, but she is my friend, and I guess that's all there is to it.

My mother told me tonight that her cancer has taken a turn for the worse. She's in palliative care now, and my mother said that if she had to judge by last night when she went to visit, it could be over within a week. I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with that. I've already come near to throwing up because I won't be able to get out home for what could potentially be a final visit.

Fuck.

Are you talking about 4 am your time or his time? He's in Arizona so he's two hours behind you (I think that's right because they don't do Daylight Savings). If he called at your 4 am, then it was only 2 where he is. That's about the time a lot of people get out of bars anyways. From his perspective he was calling you at 2 o'clock to let you know he was okay. That's still inconsiderate but a valid mitigating factor.[/QUOTE]

Nah your right ..he had called at 1250 his time though saying I'll call ya back in 20 minutes i'm on my way home....So when he didnt call for another hour and 10 minutes I was really worried cuz we have the type of relationship where he always does what he says he's going to do which is a really nice quality about him. He just feel asleep and I was so tired and worried I freaked out but the good news is he apologized for sleeping and I apolgized for going crazy and let him know I was just scared there had been an accident or something so it all worked out

And yes ur right about the time change

Because he just always has . IT's a nice quality he posesses. He always calls to say goodnight when he's away unless ofcourse he's in Iraq or Afghanistan. It's part of something said when we got married. Never go to bed without saying I love you and Never go to bed angry. It's just our thing. I'm a big enough person to admit I over reacted a lil but I was really scared he never had made it home. SO yeah that's why he has to call which really isn't him having to call . Just him being caring enough to do it because we both do

So Yeah I have no rant just a small update...

My hubby and I got to spend lots of time together last night online and on the phone........We talked everything over and had a really good time......So i know i've been ranting about me being irritated with him lately but finally I think the blah part of us bumping heads is finally come to an end. Just wanted to let yall know. Thanks for hearing my rants during this hard time where we're both seperated and miserable. It's almost over though now I'm half way thru . Just another half to go and we shall be together again YAYYYYYYYYY!

darkangel - I'm a little behind on the goings on here at Halforms. Is your husband on deployment or preparing for one? I know when mine is about to leave the stress sometimes gets to me and I blow up over little things that normally wouldn't bother me so much. My husband and I have an agreement about calling, too. It's not that I'm trying to keep track of what he's doing. Really, I trust him enough to honestly say I don't care what he's doing. I just want to know he's ok if he's running late or out drinking with the guys instead of worrying that something bad might have happened.

He is away at school in Arizona with the army....been gone since Jan 7th. So yeah I think tiredness and previous problems helped me blow up on that one. I'm glad the wicked storm of arguments is over. We're both relieved and much happier

It's very stressful so i workout like crazy and walk alot it seems to help a small bit.

So I was driving to pick up my sister tonight. It's crummy out all rainy and Im stopped at this light and this stupid bitch forgot to turn her blinker on so we are all sitting there because no one knows what is going on. FINALLY she turns it on and turns so everyone can go one with their lives.

Unfortunately, the stupid bitch was ME! Are we allowed to rant about ourselves because there are like five people out there who are probably ranting about me already. I hate it when I do stuff like that. Usually I am a very careful driver.
